When do the Sun's rays strike latitude 23.5 degrees at an angle of 90 degrees?

During the solstice (our summer for north, our winter for south).


What axis does earth spin on?

23.37 degrees Meaning that the Poles are tilted at 23.37 degrees to the angle at which the Sun's rays strike the Earth.


What latitude receives the most direct rays of the sun?

The sun's rays are strongest at 0 degrees latitude.


Does the solar rays strike the equator at 180 angle?

yes


Why is there a difference in climate between areas at 0 latitude and areas at 45 latitude?

The climate is cooler at 45 degrees latitude compared to 0 degrees latitude because the Sun is shining at a different angle. At 0 degrees latitude, the Sun is shining directly overhead, and thus it receives highly-concentrated sun rays which heat up the Earth rapidly. However, at 45 degrees latitude, the Sun is shining at a slanted angle, which makes the sun rays spread over a larger area and warming the Earth at a slower rate.


What happens to the angle of reflected light rays as the angle of incident light rays becomes steeper?

The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Therefore, if your angle of incidence is 15 degrees, your angle of reflection equals that also. If it is 45 degrees, your angle of reflection is also 45 degrees, and so on.


What is the angle at which the sun's rays strike the surface of Earth in the tropics?

LEss than a 45 degree angle


What is the different between oblique rays and vertical rays?

Either the answer will be that they contain more solar energy, it strike's the earth at an angle greater than 90 degrees, or it could be that they spread energy over a larger surface area.


The direct rays of the sun migrate from what latitude to what latitude?

From the Tropic of Cancer (23.45 degrees north) to the Tropic of Capricorn (23.45 degrees south).
